Any attack, spell, or effect that deals damage and offers a Reflex-based saving throw deals only three-quarters damage to the monk, if they fail the saving throw. If they succeed on the saving throw, the effect deals only half damage (in many cases, this is the normal result of such an attack targeting Reflex). Evasion does not provide any protection against non-damaging effects or status conditions, only damage. Evasion can only be used in circumstances where the monk is not denied their dexterity to AC, is aware of the attack, and is wearing no armor, is not using a shield, and is not carrying a medium or heavier load. | ||
